You need to save at the end of each year for the next 35 years per year. in the account in 35 years to cover your needs.

Explanation / Answer

Using financial calculator

PV = $ 1086,585.27

This can also be computed using PV of annuity formula as 85000*(1-1/1.06^25)/ 0.06

So you will need $ 1086,585.27 in the account in 35 years

FV of $25000 deposited now = PV*(1+r)^n

= 25000*1.06^35

= $192,152.17

FV of $20,000 deposited after 5 years = 20000*1.06^30 = $114869.82

Balance to be obtained from regular saving = Total FV - 192152.17 - 114869.82

= 1086,585.27- 192152.17 - 114869.82 = $779563.28

Using financial calculator

FV = 779563.28

N= 35

I/Y = 6%

PMT = $6995.69

You need to save $ 6995.69 at the end of each year for next 35 years

Amount needed on retirement N 25 years Withdrawals (PMT) 85000 per year Rate (I/Y) 6%
